2015 in review (2/2)

July
2015 has so far been a very rubbery year, which is not a bad thing at all, but July was a month where Colin and I were able to indulge in getting out on our bikes, we had some great days out in the sun. July also ended with me getting into my rubber catsuit and toesocks once more and heading down south for another extended session encased in the stretchy slick black stuff.  We also helped Echo and PJ to move into their lovely new home where the seed of getting a new car was sown during a conversation with Echo.



August
First day of this month marked another special occasion.  After spending the night wearing my catsuit and toesocks, I readied myself for the rest of the day in the same gear.  Devilkink encouraged me to wear my catsuit on the journey down to see them as the day which followed was a day out at Brighton Pride in full rubber as a pup in a crowd of thousands!  Publicly exhibitied in my skintight rubber and puppy hood, but in a group of other rubber and leather pups plus some handlers this wa a remarkable day out in the safe company of friends.  I'm proud to say that I managed to cope with a full 24 hours in rubber though my suit did bear the brunt of the extended use with a slight failure of the ass zip.
August was going to be a busy month though, GearBlast:UK was at the last weekend of the month and because of this we would be run off our feet organising and entertaining.  The days before and after the event would generally be pervy and social but the weekend itself was a success with both nights pushing my personal comfort limits with being extrovert, but also satisfying with a munch, gear market and gear karting filling the weekend with pervy activities for over 60 guys at any one time.


September
Following on from August and hosting Rocket and Gadget we would continue to have pervy fun, but ultimately we would be heading to Berlin for Folsom Europe with Pup Echo and YoungPJ69.  A great sense of camaraderie was felt amongst the group as we headed to Germany.  We were all due to stay in the same apartment and would be meeting Sealskin, Tomsmith, Devilkink and Rubbot at the location.  We were amongst the last to arrive but the whole weekend was again a combination of exhibitionism, all night partying, socialising and bumping into people/rubber hooded pervs I kind of recognised but wasn't able to connect with 100%.
The comedown from all of this was terrible though, two weeks of the best friends and pervy activities was hard to get over.  Planning for 2016 was soon under way.

October
A less than pervy month, but one which brought the biggest purchase of my life so far.  We upgraded our main car from an 8 year old Honda Civic to a three year old Vauxhall Ampera.  Will be paying this car off for a few years now but it's saving us bucket loads in fuel (it's a range extended Electric Vehicle or 'E-rev') which we are incredibly happy with though ownership isn't without its hiccups.
Zukipup visited us for a long weekend and we enjoyed some great food and pervy pup time together.
I also got to hook up with Martinisoft (who I met and had a very pervy and intimate time with at GearBlast:USA) for a weekend of fun and fuzzyness in London.  Though I wasn't in a fursuit, it wa
s great fun meeting other furries at the LondonFurs halloween meet.  It renewed my interest in making my own fursuit and also gave me a great deal on confidence after spending a wonderful weekend with my favourite Stormy.

November
Another return visit to see Echo and PJ ended up with my pupped up and taking my medium tail easily for a change, then tied up in the cage whilst Colin ended up in the sling.  A great pervy weekend that would mark our last visit to the pair in 2015 sadly.  We have arranged a visit in January to pup out and attend the first Pup Social in 2016.
Unfortunately we had a couple of weekends arranged which got cancelled at the last minute, this left us with spare time we didn't know how to fill.

December
The final leg of the year would prove to be a little bit of a rollercoaster, with a visit from a lovely pair of pups called Zeus and Hades showing us there are some genuinely sweet and humble people that we haven't met yet.
As I write this, the rest of the year has yet to happen, but the plans include a visit from long time friend Rubbot for Christmas evening and following weekend.  Although I'm working during the following week (it had to happen at least once!) we will also be hosting Devilkink and Armalyte over the new year, with some delicious plans for food, and hopeful ones for pupping out, we shall be seeing in the new year in (semi) new gear.

I wish you all a very happy Christmas and new year,  looking back over what I have done in this brief summary, I would be tempted to rattle on for pages and pages.  I set out to make this as short as I could, so if I have missed something then it's because I'm tired and wasn't intentional.

It's been good, 2016 is shaping up to be even better.

2015 in review (1/2)

2015 has been an awesome year, one of the best ever but it hasn't been without it's lows, but overall the positives have far outweighed the negatives.  I hope to concentrate on the good things!

January
Starting the year off I entered into a pact/competition with Devilkink to lose weight.  Our initial goal is to lose 1 stone.  The competition seemed to work well for us and we both lost a sizable chunk of excess making us both feel better about ourselves.
Also in January I attended my first Pup event, Pup Social hosted by BossBear and his team of pups which would be the seed sown for events later in the year.  Needless to say I felt a little apprehensive but eventually got pupped up and ended up really enjoying myself.  I was helped along also by Pup Echo and YoungPJ who generously allowed us to stay over.  We also enjoyed a social weekend with them planning our year ahead.


February
This month held news that we had to move home, so most of our spare time was taken up with finding a new place to live and get everything packed up.  Moving house is a stressful time, but now I'm commuting an extra 8+miles it could have been better, but we have a nicer home which is brand new we've settled in nicely only to constantly be thinking about moving closer to my work.
Some developments from the Pup Social revealed that good friend Devilkink wanted to become a pup handler and he only had eyes on one pup....Boots.  These talks would lead to us setting up a training session in March.

March
This is normally the month I celebrate my birthday but this month after revealing I was looking to be trained/handled as a pup, and Devilkink wanting to help us both become a partnership of pup and handler, this was going to fulfil a part of both our lives and become a great reason for us to both grow and push our boundaries.
Our first opportunity came with a visit to Devilkink, where I was able to get fully rubbered up, with my small tail, boxing boots and Devilkink's wet hot puppy hood, and for over five hours I was just a pup at his feet under the guidance of Redskull and Rascal pup being a model puppy for Boots.
I also received the first version of a custom made 1mm thick full coverage suit with everything attached.  I got to preview this suit on the same weekend I was able to pup out and feel like the centre of attention, it was an amazing weekend I'm very grateful for.

April
After the disappointment of the first custom suit not being to the spec I ordered and not being a great fit I re-ordered the suit hoping it would arrive before our scheduled holiday later in the month.  As I get my bonus in March I was busy ordering gear so, I was also due to have my own wet hot pup hood which I hope also turns up before our holiday.  I also ordered some new Knox Handroids but these arrived shortly after ordering.  I also ordered some 'Tabi' boots, knee high shiny rubber split toe boots that work really well with toesocks and are easy to wear with a rubber catsuit.
For the very first time ever in our 12 years together Colin and I had never travelled abroad, and the details were mentioned in an earlier post.  Needless to say this trip was an absolutely amazing experience which kept us both on a high for several weeks, if not months afterwards.

May
Upon our return from the U.S. we were enthusiastic about our travels and had Devilkink and is boyfriend Armalyte over for the weekend, but also Pup Xanto and Redskull who popped in for the day.  We had some fun pupping out and being social but Redskull also brought the bargain Arai Helmet he and two friends managed to pick up for me especially from a market in Wales.  I love this helmet more than I should, it's secondhand, chipped and I don't know if it's safe to wear but the fact it was found and transported especially for me half way across the country makes it very special to me.  It's also very horny to wear!  Later that weekend I had some special pup time with Devilkink who got me fully rubbered up and wrapped my collar around my neck and padlocked it shut with a tag identifying me as Boots and if lost to return to him.  I felt great pride at this moment and one very happy pup.
In late May we had a jaunt to Cardiff in south Wales primarily to see the Doctor Who Symphony and pup out in public for the first time as a collared pup, but before that we entertained The Irate Fox and his boyfriend Sprocketpup, a pair I have known of for many years, finally getting to meet and host them we had plenty of fun which
amongst other things I was again pupped up and forced to blow my load on all fours for the first time.
June
One less pervy experience was travelling for work, I had to go to Istanbul to attend a work meeting, but at least I was in a five star hotel with all my expenses paid for,
Spurred on by our vacation, plus booking hotels for a holiday later in the year I organised to visit one of my favourite playmate couples, S10boi and Rubberwulf.  I got it into my head to ride over to see them, packing as much pervy rubber gear into my backpack as possible but to save space I was going to wear my rubber catsuit and toesocks under my leathers.  This lead to a very sweaty but enjoyable ride and ended up with me being encased in rubber for a total of 21 hours.  I very much enjoyed my visit to these two pervs, only wish it could be more frequent.

I have decided to make this blog two part, but unlike other posts, I've already written part two, so it will materialise in a couple of days!

Chicago Trip (1/5)

It was mentioned briefly (and I'm certain not maliciously) that my blog posts are rather 'lengthy'

I admit I tend to ramble on quite a lot, so I'm going to practice the art of succinct articles.

Buuut, our trip to Chicago and GearBlastUSA cannot possibly be summarised in such a way, so instead I've divided it up into five themes over five blogs, which should appeal in their own ways.

Food, experiences, people, play and GearBlastUSA, that is five blogs including this one!

I wanted to give an overview and a bit of background for the trip before I get into the details.

In the beginning there was a meek twentysomething guy, confused about what he really wanted, who found friends online.  One of those friends who emerged all that time ago was ScubaCCS.

The following decade would see this friendship grow (amongst others) but this friendship would result in more.  A sense of worth that gave me more perceived value in our community.  I'm talking of course about GearBlast.

ScubaCCS aka Rubcovr aka RocketPup has visited the UK several times now but the first such visit included a surprise trip to a Halloween Party (which we coined as Pervyween) which seemed to have an effect on the creator of GearBlast.  Rocket asked me to host a GearBlast in the U.K and in 2009 I did it.



That Legacy continues today with GearBlastEU and a return trip (and five year gap) to GearBlastUK in 2014.  This combination encouraged Rocket to host a standalone event in the U.S and so GearBlastUSA was born.

Meanwhile after years of chatting and encouragement to come and visit Rocket finally got the answer out of me I'd been promising for years.  I'd booked the flights and we'd be joining Rocket for GearBlastUSA.

I needed to go through all that because I wanted to highlight what a change in attitude this trip has proved in myself and shown in a tangible direction.

I'm an incredibly shy guy, but my online persona has given me the confidence to be more, to be who I truly feel I am.  GearBlast events have done this for me and it's the best feeling in the world to see it enabling others like me to push themselves further too.

As I write this, a lot of my new friends are preparing for IML and the respective GearBlast being held there.  I hope they all enjoy their time and don't easily forget us during this fun time.  Regardless of what things happen in the present, there will always be the events that have gone and the others to look forward to.

This point I'm trying to make in not too short a terms is that though the following blogs will contain thoughts and images some will aspire to, I am really just like most other guys, making their way though life with the support and feedback of friends.

Just because I am who I am right now, doesn't mean you can't have something of your own to be proud of.  Life is what you make of it and even though I say I'm lucky, I have had to force some issues beyond what fate would insist upon.  This may not make 100% sense but then if I explained I'd be rambling and long winded.

Next stop food!

2014 Summary (Part 1 Jan-Jun)

So this year, how to summarise this in a way that can be worthwhile and a little bit entertaining.

This year has gone so quickly, quicker than any previous year, is that because I'm getting older (aren't we all?) and friends and family tell me the years go by quicker the older you get?  Is it because I've filled this year with more activities and thus noticed the passage of time less?  Is it because I've had a lot of ups and downs, more downs than I care to mention in passing, so when being retrospective the passage of time can (in some circumstances) pass quicker.

In truth I think this year has been a combination of all of the above, but I don't regret any of it.  I don't want to hear myself complain about not being in a better position, because it's been the best year yet and 2015 holds much hope and I plan to make every single day count.

January - First day of our year started good after spending the new year celebrations in gear with good friends, we returned home to find our main front window leaking, weather was extremely wet and windy.

This month included a little rubberyness too, though sadly spent alone I was horny enough to cum twice that night.  I took this image from the video, I should really edit and upload it to xtube, perhaps I will if I get any kind of feedback on this blog post.  Ahh bribery, let's see if that works...




February
Not a lot of perving in real life, just sitting back to enjoy the Winter Olympics, yes that German 2 man bobsleigh team was absolutely to die for!


March was as bit better as far as perving was concerned as we took loads of photos to use for GearBlastUK later in the year which was fun to do with the help of some mates.  I also got the chance to be extremely submissive and rubbered up for an extended period on my birthday.

April was filled with plans expending for GBUK14, visiting the venue for the first time, take photos and building relationships.  I also got more rubber time with S10boi, where I got to practice my ropework on him.  I layered up and helped myself.








May saw the arrival of my purchases from LatexCatfish, A nice thick red rubber mattress cover and a heads out vacrack, both excellent purchases I must say and I'm still very please with the quality.  The Pervybikers also had their first pervy rideout of the year (nb Colin rides all year round and it's James that holds back for the fairer weather).
We also had a visit from increasingly close friends Armalyte and Rub Berdevilk (Devilkink) but for some reason I cannot find many photos of that experience, but needless to say it was fun and has been repeated since too.

June was the most exciting month of 2014 so far as we seemed to fit a lot more in.  Starting with a Holiday to the Lake District in the north west UK, we asked Rubbot to come along with us, and his presense not only encouraged us to fit more in, but also for us to behave like civilised people.  We went Mountain biking in Scotland and Whinlatter Forest and I only fell off twice.  Sadly I didn't get any photos or footage of that!  Loads of photos were taken but this one sums up my main memories.

After the holiday I had a brief opportunity to try my new VacRack out and it appears I enjoyed it.  There are photos of this but I think there will be better photos to come in my part 2 summary of 2014.  There are plenty of other pics to share anyway...

Such as #Fullgearfriday which seems just like it was yesterday.  I was easily cohearsed into getting into full rubber and appearing on cam (nb this is not something I do on request for just anyone, so please don't ask if you don't know me very very well).

We also got a trip to Matlock Bath on the bikes toward the end of the month which we enjoyed as it allowed us to just sit back and enjoy the view,  Of course I could post pics of the various bikers, but I thought one of me being nonchalant was more appropriate! :P


There we have the first half of our year.  Of course there's much much more to it than that, but do you really want to see the less pervy bits like cooking and baking, family visits, DIY, gardening, and doing a hell of a lot of tidying up for some reason.... anyway part 2 will be along shortly.

Contemplation and headspace

Hey All,

It's been a while since I blogged anything.

Historically I've just rambled on and not provided any photos, I'll try to do better this time!

Last blog post was about how YOU have a valued opinion and a part to play in this community.  Our community is far reaching and varied and spills over into other communities, and what I have to say tonight kinda follows on from this theme.

For those who have been paying attention, my husband, myself and a few good souls have brought an event back to life and after plenty of long evenings of preparation, chasing for answers and eventually a lot of running around and a few good stories the weekend came and went ....and so did a few guys at GearBlast:UK :P

Alongside all of this I was honoured to be hosting a couple of friends who had travelled from Australia and the United States staying with us for 15 and 11 days respectively but whilst they were here, I felt so very comfortable and accepted.

This, as it turns out was an over-riding theme amongst many who attended GearBlast:UK, many felt they discovered something new about themselves and that this fetish venue wasn't as intimidating, nor the guys who turned up to be judgemental at all.  This is exactly the kind of thing we were hoping for, but never expected.

One thing I do really appreciate is how many genuinely decent guys we met for the first time and hoping it won't be the last, my regrets total three for GBUK.  One that I didn't bring it back sooner, second that I didn't manage to make it 100% for everyone (always room for improvement) and third, that I didn't have enough time to spend with everyone.

I didn't get a lot of a chance to enjoy it myself but even so here I am on the far right (pup in Hockey gear) with a few other pups.



I'm not here to talk about that weekend though ...surprisingly..oh okay a little bit.  This post is more about the events and feelings which began the weekend which followed.  It became one of the best I've had in a long time.

In addition to my husband, GadgetAU and RocketPup, we also had Rubbot, S10Boi and Rubberwulf over for the weekend for some rubbery fun whilst Rocket was still in the country and what a weekend it was.  Sorry we couldn't accommodate anyone else, I'm seriously not trying to rub it in.

I'm not sure if what happened to me was planned or whether it was the specific influences that were present at the time, but I found myself letting go...

Letting go of my human inhibitions,

As per the previous weekend I was in full rubber a few times, in fact I enjoyed Rubber, Leather, rubber under leathers and rubber again, and leather again, but the one time I was in rubber and allowed to wear RocketPup's Wet-Hot Puppy Hood is where I managed to achieve (for me at least) the elusive pupspace.

Despite my reputation, photos, stories and many conversations with various people I have only managed to get into the pup mindset once or twice.  I didn't know it happened, or how it happened but it has renewed my love of pup play and I want to do it again.

I have come to some realisation in the last few days of what I really want, and what I can really provide personally as I think being pretty established within this community, onlookers who dont' ask the questions can easily make assumptions.

I'm not a Top, an Alpha, Sir, Master or even an expert on the fetishes that I participate in, I'm certainly not an expert and am just learning my craft,  learning about myself and what I enjoy.

My preferred role is submissive, Pup, Gimp, Drone, Toy, Object, Biker...

I can and often do top guys, and I enjoy doing it for those who have imagination and a devious mind, so I guess you could call me a switch, but that is an essential for me - that I feel my effort, enthusiasm and imagination can be reciprocated.

This has always been the case though, it's just that my recent revelation has been that I can indulge in this side of me fully without wanting to be in control or having input into what happens as well, and for that I am eternally grateful.

The key to all this?  Allowing my friends to look after me, not having any expectations and trusting fully that they know my limits and how to get the best from their plaything.  I hope to enjoy this side of me more and more but something I do need help with is my pup side.

Being so prominently 'pup' online I get put on a pedestal and others try to emulate me.  I know this, not because I'm big headed, but because I've been told as much by many.  Though I have fun in gear (and that gear usually involves a pup hood) the headspace isn't there, I can pretend to be cute or sexy, playful, naughty etc, but more often than not, it's playing up for the lens....camera whore that I am.


It's not to say the scenes you see in photos are staged, but the 'look' is acted to a degree, it's still me and it'd be tough to tell the difference considering I'm always wearing some kind of mask or hood, but for me it's not genuine...I wish it were....very much so.

The weekend following GearBlastUK, pupspace was real in my head, I have no way to explain it other than it felt right, I didn't think about the gear, or my human body, or anything that was said to me, I just wanted to sniff things, licking people and happily wagging my tail, not thinking about what happens next.

This has got me thinking, and after talking with my husband I've decided to start looking for a trainer.  Not an owner, because my heart belong to my husband and I will never love anyone else, though I have love for my closest friends both in real life and online.

Previously I thought I could do things for myself, but I think right now I really need a handler or trainer to help me get the best from my pup side, maybe I can help other pups grow in time but first I need to keep developing this part of my personality.

Some of this I can pick up from other pups who visit, but I know that I need some discipline to be able to develop, and dominance to ensure I follow it and enjoy it.  I guess there may be some guys who might suggest they would fit the part. Consider first that I am still human and the first part of accepting training is respect.  If you don't keep my respect as a human it's unlikely you'll meet the pup.

I hope that i find the right trainer for me to help me explore and learn more about my body and mind in pup mode.  I think it's exciting and theraputic to indulge in it.

Right I think I've rambled off enough of my thoughts for one night.

I should add that if you want to see photos from GearBlastUK 2014 follow the link to Flickr on the first image.  If you want to buy merchandise please go to gearblastuk.myshopio.com and if you fancy coming next year bookmark this link www.gearblast.co.uk or send me an email (link on the homepage) asking to be added to the mailing list!

Hope you enjoyed reading this insight into my little big headed indulgent little world, hope I haven't steered anyone wrong in the past or offended anyone in my present, I certainly hope to expand my future! *wags n lixx*

So much to do, so little time!

Well things have been quiet on this window to the world of late for a few reasons.

Of course the normal work stuff gets in the way taking up so much time which you all rightfully deserve instead!

As I write this summer has officially landed...well summer according to the UK which is a very pleasant 22c which is about right for this time of year.

Colin and I will be going on holiday soon for a short trip to go Mountain biking with Rubbot up in the Lake District and possibly Scotland.  Also hoping to get the big dark skies we experienced in Norfolk late last summer and provided it's clear we'll get to see the milky way again (an awe inspiring sight we often miss being based in a suburban area with it seems too much light pollution)

Anyway, onto pervier things.....

To some it may not be too obvious, but to others they may be chomping at the bit to find out more.

We are working on a big project which will come together publicly in the next few weeks.

GearBlast:UK

For those who aren't aware I was chief organiser of an event five years ago designed to bring together pervs from many far reaching places into one venue for two nights of just enjoying each others' company and doing what comes naturally...in gear.  This was an extension of the original GearBlast created and hosted by ScubaCCS held during IML in Chicago for a few years before.  I had become a close friend and after seeing how I organised a few private gear parties, he asked me to run a big GearBlast in the UK.

The event we hosted in 2009 could have gone a hell of a lot smoother and in fact it had such a negative effect on me personally that I wasn't prepared to host another.  But is was well received by those who came and we occasionally got asked if we were doing another one.

We weren't going to...but that was until I got a message from good and long time friend Rubbiker77 who, after GBUK09 (which he attended) was inspired to carry on and created GearBlast Europe.

GBEU has more than doubled in size since it's first event and Rubby wanted to get exposure in the UK in 2014 so asked for my help.  I initially didn't want to do it but Rubby worked on me and convinced me to scout for some locations.

I got to work, but I couldn't meet the criteria for a GBEU event in the UK.  However whilst I was looking I began to see that another 'standalone' GBUK event which I would be coordinating again could work in one of the venues which previously didn't suit GBEU's needs or wants.

And so the seed was sown and it began to grow quickly.  I found myself becoming very enthusiastic about managing an event again and could see 'our' event working alongside GBEU to compliment what effectively becomes a Europe-wide GearBlast coverage.

GearBlast is a franchise in some ways, but all the events, although being in different locations have the same aims, to bring together male full gear-heads to mutually enjoy the company of like-minded perverts in a welcoming drama free setting. We don't work against each other and out of respect for GBEU which is held on the last weekend in May we won't be pushing our event until it has passed.

So GBUK was born and we decided to fill the same calender spot in late August as previously as in the UK it is the Bank Holiday weekend.  The Venue was now confirmed, the Dates and Times were set and lots of ideas were peculating in my mind.

Colin helped me get a few select individuals on board to help out, one being an old and very good friend who helped us out in the first GBUK, Bkrlthrs.  He worked on the graphic design for the look, created a website and gave us a very professional air.

He accepted the challenge and is currently finalising the design as we speak.  I have seen some previews and I'm very excited to show it off.  One of which will be an animated banner which will appear on a well known rubber website...and below is a sneaky peek of that banner.

Tickets will go on sale through www.gearblast.co.uk at a very reasonable price from the 1st of June 2014, and we have a fantastic venue secured with lots of space to play with some fantastic furniture and plenty of space to just chill-out or play. 

Hopefully the website will be fully operational too by the time tickets go on sale and we will have some great partners coming on board with us, all of which will be revealed over the next few weeks.

We hope this event gathers much more momentum and it'll be with your help that it will be the success it deserves to be.  This will be an annual thing which can only get better now.

Thanks for reading and I hope we see you in August!

Motivations

If asked 'what motivates you?' it can be hard to pin down.

Over the winter months it can be very hard to get motivated, long nights and short cold days mostly filled with work where you repeat each day mostly verbatim.....well that's my story anyway.

2014 started like no other for me with several problems dragging me down, but this caused me to toughen my resolve.  I got the problems sorted and decided I was going to do more for charity.  This last thing became my new years resolution and so far I'm not doing too badly. 

Cake sales with the proceeds going to a local fund and donations on dress down days at work have got me started.  Hoping to do an Easter Egg Run in April when we get to do a rideout and take some chocolate eggs to a children's hospice/hospital.  Yet to decide which run we'll attend but it will be something of a satisfying feeling I'm sure.

Other things that have helped me get over the depressive winter months was organising a summer holiday which whilst still only in the Lake District, includes some Mountain biking at two trail centres with blue and red routes.  We're still only new to MTB and good friend Rubbot is joining us for the duration and has gone to the lengths of buying his own bike after a jaunt to nearby Rutland Water.

I'm glad to see him so enthusiastic as it will help me push myself to even great fitness and enjoying getting out into the great outdoors.  The potential to wear full body armour and motocross helmet is at full and I'm determined to push myself enough to warrant wearing it.

What is the next step though?  Well I have something very big in the works and I'm incredibly excited about it, but for now all I want to tell is in this teaser trailer....
